While the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ in the comics have morphed to be more like their onscreen counterparts, don’t expect that to happen with ‘Deadpool’. While the Merc with the Mouth is already quite similar between these two formats, the company is going to keep these two iterations a bit separate. The main reason isn’t from a lack of wanting Deadpool to be the same across mediums, but all falls down into the legal territory of all things.

I suspect that once the deal goes through little hiccups like this will be a thing of the past.
Are you amused that some kind of deal, likely licensing, prevented this minor and temporary costume change from happening? Do you think that it will no longer be an issue as soon as the buyout finalizes? Share your thoughts below, True Believers!
